Did Paras Chhabra actually harass Sunny Leone during ‘Splitsvilla 8’? The former finally clarifies

Paras Chhabra has been basking under the glory of his newfound popularity post his stint in ‘Bigg Boss 13’. The actor also grabs headlines for his fondness for co-contestant Mahira Sharma. Throughout his stay in ‘Bigg Boss’, Paras was involved in several heated arguments and controversies. Prior to ‘Bigg Boss’, the actor has been part of other popular reality shows like ‘MTV Splitsvilla’.

Paras had participated in season 5 of ‘Splitsvilla’ which aired in 2012. He was even declared the winner of that season. Later, he had also appeared on ‘Splitsvilla 8’ as a celebrity participant and it was then that he was accused of harassing host Sunny Leone while filming the show.

Reportedly, Paras in his quest to impress Sunny went out of the line when he touched her inappropriately. The actress had apparently even complained to the production house and had requested them to not invite Paras for the show’s launch event. Five years down the line, Paras has finally opened up on the entire controversy.

Speaking to Telly Chakkar, Paras said that the entire incident was a promotional gimmick for the show.“It was a PR strategy by the Splitsvilla team to promote the episode hence it had been framed in that manner,” the portal quoted him.

Paras even stated that back then he didn’t know how the industry works or else we would have never allowed such a PR strategy to be adopted by the makers of ‘Spiltsvilla’.

Well, that must clear all the doubts regarding the controversy created in 2015, which according to Chhabra was deliberately planned just for the TRPs sake.
